Khyungchen Aro Lingma

Aro Lingma (1886-1923) was born in the fire-dog year in Mar-Kham – the southern region
of Kham in Eastern Tibet. She was named Yeshé Zértsal by her parents – Jomo
Pema ’ö-Zér and Rang-rig Togden. Khyungchen Aro Lingma was the name she received
from Yeshé Tsogyel as an aspect of the gTérma she received in pure vision in her early
twenties. Aro Lingma was a pure-vision gTértön, a discoverer of spiritual treasures.
She received several cycles of practice directly from Yeshé Tsogyel, the female Buddha and consort of
Padmasambhava.
